Pass Around (thatsojack fan fiction)

Chapter 4

My mind continues to spin. How do all of these feelings immediately go away. It doesn't make much sense. I don't love Andrea. I never have. I never even desired a kiss with her yet somehow when I'm near her I lust for her and I can't explain it.

I try to shake the thoughts from my mind and head downstairs. I'm greeted by every person living in this house and Andrea who is obviously trying to avoid eye contact with me.

"Hey man, sorry. It was apart of initiation," Jc smirks.

I roll my eyes at him and continue down the steps.

"You aren't mad, are you?" Connor asks. Am I mad.

"No," I uncertainly answer. I don't think I am.

"Ok good, we don't need anymore drama in this house," Ricky replies and looks directly towards Connor and then to Kian. What's that all about?

"Well, I'm going to go call Beth," Connor tells us and immediately exits.

"Beth?" I question.

"Yeah, they've been hanging out a lot. I think they're together but who really knows," Jc explains. Connor and Bethany? I always thought they were just good friends.

"Yeah, who does know," Kian says with a disgusted look on his face. This is all getting more confusing by the second.

"Kian and I are going to go upstairs now," Andrea tells Kian more then she tells us. He looks annoyed but he follows her up the stairs and into his room.

"I'm so confused right now," I finally admit to Jc and Ricky.

"Don't worry about it," Jc tries to tell me. I'm not worried, just curious.

"So anyway what's up with you and Lia?" I ask. I feel stupid already, they broke up months ago and I'm just thinking to ask now.

"You didn't hear?" Jc asks. Was I supposed to know this without asking?

"No," I tell him. Ricky seems uninterested and he dismisses himself and heads to the kitchen.

"She fucked Anthony," he tells me. What? I thought Anthony and Jc were friends.

"Wait, she did? Did you guys.. You know," I trail off.

"No, luckily. I denied her a few times so I guess she was getting it somewhere else. I just didn't expect it to be Anthony," Jc admits.

"I thought Anthony was gay?" I half ask.

"Pansexual," Ricky corrects me as he walks past us with a bowl full of Captain Crunch cereal.

"Yeah," Jc confirms.

"Anthony hasn't said anything about this to me before. I just Skyped him a few weeks ago and he never said anything. Are him and Steven still together?" I ask. Steven seemed to really love Anthony and Anthony seemed to love him.

"Where have you been?" Jc asks. I seem to be behind on everything. It's probably because of her. 

"Well you know what went down with Kristen and stuff. But I feel bad, you went through a breakup the same time I did and you've been acting normal and peppy and I've been mopey and rude to everyone around me, I should've been there for you," I tell him. It's the truth. I need to be aware of other people's feelings.

"It's okay, honest. Lia and I were together for fun. I never really loved her. Hell, I didn't love her at all! She was just a safety net that was there when I fell," Jc tells me, almost matching Andrea's words. Kian is her safety net.

"Alright, I'm still sorry," I tell him.

"It's all right, lighten up a bit," Jc tells me and I give him a half smile.
